You're A Vampire...?

   I woke up to find Kyle not in bed with me. "Kyle?" I called throughout the room and didn't receive an answer. He's probably downstairs...I thought to myself.

   I got out of bed and stretched out my limbs. Afterwards I went downstairs to see if he was down there.

  "Kyle?" I asked once I got into the kitchen.

   Kyle was sitting there at the table texting on his phone. He had on shorts but he didn't have a shirt on and his hair was messy. Me on the other hand, I looked like I died and came back.

   "Whatcha doing, Kyle?" I asked and sat down acrossed from him.

   "Just checking my shit." Kyle looked up at me then went back to texting again.

   "Why? What's up?" Kyle asked me and sat his phone down on the table.

   "Nothinng~ I'm going to change back into my clothes." I said and got up from where I was sitting.

   "Sure, sure." Kyle mumbled.

   I went back upstairs to collect my clothes from the dryer.

   After I got my clothes, I changed into them and went back to Kyle's room. It wouldn't hurt to snoop around...right?

   I went over to Kyle's bed and looked under. Where else would someone hide something?

   I reached my hand under his bed and felt around for anything. I didn't feel anything so I was about to give up when I suddenly felt something hard. I pulled it out from under his bed and held it in my hands. It was some kind of black notebook. 

   On the front said Property of Kyle. This must be his journal. I decided to look through it since I had nothing better to do.

   We moved here to New York from Indiana. I really liked it back there... Here there's too many buildings and less woods. That's dangerous for our kind.

   Our kind? What did Kyle mean? I thought but continued on reading.

   Anyways, there's this girl that lives next to me and we both go to the same school. I can sense something off about her, but I passed it off as she's a total dork.

   Is he talking about me? I shook my head at his choice of wording and thought about what he meant by "sense".

   There's also this new kid, Alex. I don't like him at all. He's bad news and I know who he is. I just hope he stays away from Kate.

  Turning forward a couple more pages I've found one from a few months ago.

   Kate came to my house in a bad condition. I have an idea of what happened to her. I couldn't take her to a hospital because she was in such a condition where she was almost dead. I don't know how she managed to make it this far.

   I don't know how I didn't sense it sooner...

   Kate...She had a stake with her. Could this mean she's a slayer? I really liked her but this can't be happening. Vampires and Slayers can't be friends, we're born enemy's! But I don't care... I don't care what the law says or what anyone tells me. Kate isn't like them... I'll just have to keep this a secret.

   Kyle's a vampire...? But that can't be...

   I hurried and shut the journal. I put it back under Kyle's bed and went back downstairs.

   How could he be one?
